More than thirty years after the Nistru War, President Maia Sandu declared that the freedom of the Republic of Moldova "came at a heavy price." During a solemn rally held on the Day of Memory and Gratitude, she emphasized that, just as in 1992, the aggressor in Moldova was Russia, and this remains true today in Ukraine. She also highlighted that the country is still facing a "cognitive war," which is being waged through propaganda and disinformation.
